That reminds me. On Sherdog MMA forums conditioning section they have a DL your own bodyweight for reps in 5 minutes challenge. I can't enter the challenge because I'm not a regular poster, but that would be good cardio.

Yep I've done this and it gets tiring. You start off throwing the weight because it's light and you think you can keep doing it forever but it get heavy when you start to fatigue after a couple of minutes. I think the reasoning behind it is for MMA your going to be throwing someone to the ground that is about your size and they go for 5 minutes rounds which is long time so you need to be well conditioned. one of my favorite crossfit workouts is "fight gone bad" it was designed for MMA BJ Penn. I think i've got it in my training log.

I'd like to see "fight gone bad." I'll do a search on crossfit.com discussion board, I'm registered.

My legs are already sore from today. That's not supposed to happen until tomorrow.
